PATENT JOHN S. HOERNER, OF HIGHLAND, ILLINOIS.

TYPE-CASE CABINET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,690, dated November 21, 1882.

Application filed March 18, 1882. (NomodeL) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN S. HOERNER, of Highland, Madison county, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Type-Case Cabinets, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to a type-case cabinet, the cases or drawers of which have an inclined position; and it is so constructed that three persons can work at it at the same time. The points of novelty will be fully set forth hereinafter, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view, showing one case drawn out at each side and one removed altogether and placed upon the top of the cabinet. Fig.2 is a detail vertical section.

A represents the bottom, B the front, 0 the top, and D the back, of the cabinet.

E E represent the cases, divided into compartments as usual, and each having a knob or handle, e, on each side, by which they can be drawn out either way to expose the type.

F F are strips secured to the back of the cabinet, and G G are strips secured to the front of thecabinet,torsupportingthecases. They have inclined faces c 0 fitting the inclined faces 0 e" of the sides 6 and e of the cases. Thus it will be seen that when acase is drawn out it will be held in its natural position and the outer so that the case can be drawn out to expose all of its compartments and yet be held in its natural position. It will be seen that the construction of the sides e e and strips F G is such that no space is left between the different cases, one fitting close against the other. The sides 0 have rectangular rabbets e for receiving type, and thus these sides form the usual letterboard of a type-case.

I claim as my invention- 1. A type-case cabinet having inclined cases E, capable of being drawn out and being held from tilting by means of side pieces on the cases and strips secured to the back and front of the cabinet,substantially as shown and described,

cases E, having side pieces, 0 6 which are longer than the width of the case, for the purpose set forth.

, 3. Thecombination ofthe cabinet, consisting of strips F G having inclined faces 0 c and the inclined cases E, having side pieces, 0

provided with inclined faces 0 6 those strips 6 being rabbeted to form letterboards, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination of the cabinet A B GD,

having strips F G, and inclined casesE, having side pieces, 0 e, the lower side pieces having rabbets c as set forth.
